Bacon Tour back: Pigging out in the Rockies

It’s a decidedly un-kosher event and that’s just the way organizers like it.

The Blue Ribbon Bacon Tour, a two-day event that organizers say will feature “more than a ton of Iowa and Colorado bacon,” is returning for a third year to Keystone Resort in the Rockies west of Denver.

Yeah, really.

This year’s event, June 22-23, also will feature a Bacon Bloody Mary Bar and the Bacon U Lecture Series, “a series for those looking to earn a diploma for their knowledge of their favorite pork-tastic treat,” according to a statement issued today.

In other words, leave the rabbit food at home.

Also scheduled (but clearly less important than the bacon) are live bands, cooking demonstrations and a fun run. Bacon-tasting tickets are $30 for one day, $50 for both days. For more information, go to KeystoneResort.com.
